Strait played in nine regular season games and three playoff games with the Penguins last season. He was a plus-3 in the playoffs, which is impressive considering the defensive collapse that occurred in a six-game loss to Philadelphia in the first round.

Strait is considered to be a defensive-minded, stay-at-home defenseman. With a plethora of young talent on the blue line, he’ll be fighting a bunch of other players to make the starting lineup out of training camp.
